Rewound Jumbo Roll often are comprised of many slits of various widths.  Common width slits need to be sorted into like-width groups and packaged.  Sage Automation has designed dozens of custom systems to process rolls from unloading the rewinder, reloading shafts, slit sortation, packaging, and delivery to the warehouse.

Winder Off-Loading

Sage Automation has designed many carts on a rail track to unload winders.  The carts have a scissor lift allowing the carts to go under the completed roll.  It then raises to support the roll and shaft and lift it free of the winder.  The cart usually then moves to a shaft extractor position where the core shaft is removed.  The cart then brings the roll to a station for further processing.  The car can dump the roll onto the next station enabling it to tend the next wound roll.

Slit Roll Sorting

Slitter/Rewinders often product parent rolls with several width slits to efficiently use the full web width.  Slits of like-widths are usually sorted from the parent roll into groups and packaged as a multi-slit SKU.

Sage Automation has installed many robot systems to perform automatic sorting, placing of headers/footers, stretch wrapping, labeling, and delivery to the warehouse.

Up-Ender

Jumbo rolls often need to be upended.  Sage Automation has designed a broad range of roll up-enders for both slit and full width parent rolls.  Diameters range from 20 to 95 inches and core lengths from 30 to 135 inches.

Models are in operation that have dump thru capacity, conveyor roll-off in any direction, roll top clamping, and several other features in both electric drive and hydraulic power.
